Edito de Bacas, Galeria de Amor, Marionas: Bacas, Galeria de Amor, MarionasKnown as Folia in Italy, Follia in Spain or Folie in France, Folia is a melody that probably originated in Portugal and then passed through Spain before eventually gaining popularity in almost all European countries towards the end of the 15th century. The well-known theme from the Folia ? characterised by its sarabande rhythm and its moderate movement ? would give rise to several variations. We have lost count of the number of musicians who have developed or modified it. Somenames that spring to mind include Corelli, Lully, Couperin, Vivaldi, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Marais, d?Anglebert, Telemann, without counting Paganini, Liszt or Rachmaninov much later. In France, it is often called Folies d?Espagne and, in the United Kingdom, Farinel?s Ground after Michel Farinel (Farinelli), who was born in 1649 and worked in Grenoble at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.
